The judge {Robert Downey Jr} UNDER EDITING

No plan

At the end of the day, I saw Leighton walking towards the parking lot.
I ran after her
"Hey Marissa!" I yelled.
The drug effect was over and my head was pounding.
All the sleep I had missed in the past few days was coming down to me but I wanted to get to know her, she was a mystery I had to solve.
She looked up to me, confused.
"Yes John?" She said.
I raised my eyebrow smiling, surprised that she knew my middle name.
She giggled
"I've done some research" she said, looking down to her hands, then back at me.
My heart warmed at her little giggle
"Let's go out" I said, out of the blue
"What, right now?"
"Right now" I said.
"Mr Downey I hardly even know you, why should I go out with you"
"Because you'll have fun. Come on" I said,grabbing her hand and pulling her towards my car.
"It's Seven pm, what are you even planning to do" she said, getting in the car. I shrugged and turned on the motor
"There is no plan" I said, and started driving.

I parked in the parking lot of an old ice cream shop. I knew this place because when I first bought my house Susan was dying to eat ice cream and the only close place was this one.
We walked in silence inside the place and sat down at a table.
"Hey, Robert!" The old woman at the counter said.
"Hi, Maggie!" I said waving, she was just the best.
"So, what are we having today" she said, looking at me and then at Leighton.
"Whatever she wants" I said, nodding towards Leighton who was just smiling cordially.
"I'll have some cookie dough" she said, I raised two fingers to let  Maggie know I'd have the same.
"I used to pass by here when I was little" Leighton said looking out the window
"You never came in?" I said, she shook her head
"I was too poor, I guess" she whispered. Then Maggie came back and gave us our two ice creams.
"So" I said between bites
"What are your interests? Who is Leighton Marissa Meester?" I said, she shrugged
"I just kind of love my job, acting's been my interest for so long now. But I've always loved music too" she said
"Do you play any instruments?"
"I knew how to play guitar when I was younger, now I just have a broken down ukulele" she laughed a little.
By the time we were finished, i was infatuated with her.
It kind of felt like we knew each other for so long.
"Thanks for the ice cream" she said once we were in the car, I smiled at her
"Do you know what I really really wanna do?" I said, she shook her head.
"I wanna take a dip in the sea"
she started laughing
"It's freezing cold!" She said
I started driving towards the cost.
There was no one around when we got there, it was 11:30.
We got out of the car and she took off her shoes, holding them in her hands while we walked on the sand.
I started taking off my clothes
"Are you seriously gonna do this?"
"Never been more serious" I said smiling, taking off my hoodie and jeans, only in my boxers.
"I am not gonna come in" she said, Shaking her head laughing.
"See you on the other side, Mr Meester"
And then i ran into the freezing ass water.

"Leighton's pov"
I sat on the sand as I watched Robert squirm around in the water.
He looked somehow happier, I thought maybe he was depressed for Susan, but now he seemed okay.
He still had dark circles under his eyes, and some times zoned out, his hands shaking, but I hardly knew him, so maybe he was that way since the begging.
"Robert?" I yelled, he turned around, then came walking towards me.
His hair dripping wet, his muscular body shaking for the cold.
He sat down next to me.
"That was an adventure, let me tell you." He said, grabbing his things and quickly putting his clothes on.
He then looked at me, then back at the sea.
He took out a cigarette from his pants and lit it.
"You're not so bad at kissing, you know" he said, I felt chills ran up my spine again.
"For being like, 18 years old?" He said, kidding.
I rolled my eyes
"I'm 25" I said
"Isn't it the same?" he laughed, I rolled my eyes.
We sat there in silence, until I turned to look at him
"Are you really okay Robert?"
He threw away his cigarette, and looked down to his hands
"I'm handling things." He whispered
"The thing is, that she was everything. She helped me through a lot and then, she didn't love me anymore. Just like that" he said, turning to me, his eyes now sad.
"You know, things happen for a reason" I said, putting my hand on his, trying to comfort him
"Yeah, probably" he whispered, looking at me. I flashed a crooked smile at him and he laughed.
A genuine laugh, I never heard one like it before. His eyes smaller when he laughed.
"You're cute" he said looking at me.

When Robert parked in my driveway it was 1 am. I had left my car where we were shooting so he volunteered to pick me up the next morning.
"So, Tomorrow at Nine?" He said,
I nodded.
"Thanks for everything" I said, smiling at him.
He leaned in and slowly kissed my cheek.
"Goodbye Leighton" he whispered.
I got out of the car, barely even knowing how to walk.
I walked up the steps to my door and unlocked it, hoping Adam was asleep.
I quietly tiptoed to my room and closed the door. Falling on the bed, completely confused.
I felt like a teenage girl who just saw her crush walk down the hallway.
